Introduction

In addition to all the features that Soffid offers by default when installing the Console and Syncserver, it also allows you to add new features in addon format.

Soffid provides a collection of addons that can be installed to add functionalities to the Soffid Console and, in some cases, also to the Syncserver.

Addons

These are the available addons. For more information about each add-on, take a look at each one:

Installation

There are several Addons available to be installed to add functionalities to the Soffid Console. These addons can be found at: download opensource or in download enterprise in the Addons section.

In Soffid 4, it is no longer necessary to upload addons to the Console. A new marketplace feature has been included in the license and plugin page to download addons directly from there.

If you want to know how to install an addon, please refer to the following page:
